Nestled in the picturesque village of Oxborough, this welcoming and sympathetically renovated coach house is in the perfect location for families and friends who enjoy walking, cycling and wildlife spotting. It is part of The Old Rectory Estate with 18 acres to explore. The magnificent Oxburgh Hall is on your doorstep with its medieval manor house and Victorian garden. The market town of Swaffham is 8 miles away and the Royal Sandringham Estate is 20 miles away. For guests who love wildlife; Welney Wetland Centre is 16 miles away or visit the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve (12 miles) to experience a Norfolk safari where animals roam free among 170 acres of countryside. For those looking for a day at the beach, Hunstanton is 31 miles away and makes for a great day out with traditional arcades, beautiful esplanade gardens, boat trips to see seals, the Sea Life Centre, and more.
Within a pretty courtyard is the former coach house which has been lovingly restored to provide accommodation for up to six guests. The main access from ground level takes you straight upstairs into the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. The spacious lounge with its exposed beams and sumptuous sofas is perfect for curling up with a good book or flicking on the Smart TV in the evening with a glass of something chilled. The well-equipped, social kitchen is ideal for cooking up a treat to be enjoyed at the dining table together whilst discussing plans for the days ahead. When day turns to night, the first bedroom with a double bed has an en-suite bathroom to soak away the everyday stresses. The second bedroom is accessed via the first and also boasts a double bed. There is another room off this which offers a single bed and a refreshing en-suite shower room. Accessed from the courtyard at ground level is another bedroom which is semi-self-contained with a king-size bed, a sitting area, facilities to make tea and coffee in the morning, and an en-suite shower room.
Outside, guests can explore the 18-acre estate which is elevated and looks down upon its own fields, river and lake. A rowing boat can be used on the lake, and there’s a shady picnic table for guests to sit, relax and appreciate the views. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the shared, outdoor, heated swimming pool and chill on the sun loungers. Take a walk or bike ride around the grounds and you’ll find plenty of wildlife, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see the Oyster Catchers nesting. You can feed the animals including sheep, geese, chickens and pig with the owners and there’s a ruin of the original Oxborough village church (dating back to the year 946) which guests are welcome to visit. There’s also a shared gym for guests that are keen to keep fit on their holiday.
